Can't you use the other PCIe slot for the new GPU? Or does the first one
have to go in the right slot?
Does the GPU really cover all 4 of the SATA sockets? Wow.

I *believe* the first GPU has to go in the upper slot. I'll check the
manual. (The manual is currently downloading from Gigabyte's website at
roughly 1KB/sec, as is typical for motherboard downloads...)

Well, I haven't actually tried it, but it's 2 bays wide, and holding it
up against the motherboard (which isn't easy) it appears to be longer
then the full width of the board, so...

Hehe, would be quicker just to try it out and see if it boots or not.
Yeh, why is it that all MB manufacturers have websites with a total
bandwidth of 4kb/sec? And just when you need some simple onboard sound
driver quickly, you see it's a 63MB download and it's going to take 3 weeks
to complete.

To cover all 4 SATA sockets it must be pretty thick.

Yeah, why the **** is that??? Like, even if the download is 78KB, it's
the slowest 78KB of your entire life! o_O

Have you *seen* the photograph??

Wow, that's weird, I've just tried it myself, and what a weird way to
download it, all I get is a blank page with download info in the bottom left
corner. :oO

Don't bother. That game is the most repetitive POS I've played.
Crysis, OTOH...

...will cost me money, whereas FarCry 2 I already have. ;-) I might as
well at least see what it's like...
Hmm, although... if it's any harder than FarCry 1, I guess there really
*is* no point. o_O

Yeah, I've heard that too, and I was really looking forward to it after
the original, (which I thought was brilliant for gameplay).

No doubt about it... :)
